PGAP1 (GPI Inositol-deacylase, Post-GPI Attachment to Proteins Factor 1, hPGAP1, UNQ3024/PRO9822) (Biotin)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene functions early in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthetic pathway, catalyzing the inositol deacylation of GPI. The encoded protein is required for the production of GPI that can attach to proteins, and this may be an important factor in the transport of GPI-anchored proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. Defects in this gene are a cause an autosomal recessive form of cognitive impairment. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
Uniprot Description
PGAP1: Involved in inositol deacylation of GPI-anchored proteins. GPI inositol deacylation may important for efficient transport of GPI-anchored proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. Belongs to the GPI inositol-deacylase family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
